Abstract

Crosses between late tropical populations and adapted inbreds of maize (Zea mays) were compared in order to identify superior combinations for the development of late forage semi-exotic hybrids adapted to the mild mediterranean climate and for irrigated cultivation. Forage yield and quality traits were studied in progeny of 3 top crosses with a common control cultivar, involving 44 exotic populations and the inbred testers B73 and Mo17. Highest ear yields were obtained by crosses involving Tuxpeño, Cateto and Compuesto Centroamericano A with B73. The best semi-exotic combinations for digestible dry matter were B73 × La Posta (140% of the control Mo17 × B73), B73 × Brazil 1771 (138%) and B73 × V465 (136%).
